PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promptly boost a supercharging pressure while preventing overshoot of exhaust pressure during accelerating operation.SOLUTION: An engine 10 includes a VVT (variable valve timing system) 32 for setting a phase of an exhaust valve 30 variable; and a supercharger 34 which is variable capacity. An ECU 60 measures acceleration time t required for the exhaust pressure to boost from a state before the accelerating operation to a threshold, when the accelerating operation has started. The shorter the acceleration time t is, the later valve-opening period of the exhaust valve 30 is. As a result, the overshoot of the exhaust pressure is prevented, and thereby the ECU 60 decrease nozzle opening of the supercharger 34 at the accelerating operation and promptly boosts the supercharging pressure. Accordingly, the efficiency of supercharging is enhanced and accelerating performance is improved, while boost of the exhaust pressure is moderately prevented.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas diffusion layer that can provide a fuel cell having a high performance and a long durability. SOLUTION: The gas diffusion layer contacts the MEA on one surface side and contacts a separator having a surface constituted of a passage and a land section on the other surface side and has a minute communicating hole, and of which the other side has a land contact section for contacting the land section and a passage contact section for contacting the passage, and the surface portion on the one surface side located on the rear face of the land contact section has a high smoothness. The portion where a surface pressure is applied in the gas diffusion layer for the fuel cell is the land contact section contacting the land portion of the separator. Since the aggressiveness to the MEA is determined by a structure of the portion located on the rear face of the land contact section, that portion is made a structure having a low aggressiveness. Then, the other portion is made a structure taking into consideration gas permeability and water drainage, thereby developing high performance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
